Wild West 9a by Vojta Trojan

Vojta Trojan, who previously has sent seven 9a’s, has done the fourth ascent of Tom Bolger’s Wild West (9a) in Margalef. ”Hard bouldery start, then endurance leading into a last crux under the anchor. Very cool route.. 9a/a+ feels right for me - as it's much harder then the left exit.” (c) Jan Erben

Can you tell us more about the ascent? Since I was in Margalef in November and sent the left exit, Wild Publico (9a), I wanted to finish this hardest and purest version of the route, as I got back here after Christmas. It took me way longer than I thought and I'm glad, that the one perfect condition day saved my ass and I could clip the anchor.

The route took me 6 days (1-2 tries a day) to finish, + I knew the start moves from Wild Publico. Thanks to Tom for bolting the start and opening this quite new and very cool route as well as many others!
